Since it's original publication in 1995, Mat Seattle's edition of the manuscript book of William Dixon, dated 1733, has continued to provide challenges and disucssions and some controaversies among pipers.As Roderick Cannon remarked - 'beyond all doubt, this is the oldest known manuscript of bagpipe music.' The 40 tunes it contains make up a unique collection of a repertoire which once must have been familiar to border pipers but which has since survived only in modified versions amongst some branches of the northumbrian pipers' tradition. Anyone interested in the lowland and border music should have a copy of this collection. CLICK HERE to view details
